In addition to students of culture and tourism, My Son Sanctuary also draws attentions of students majoring in other fields such as language, geography, architecture and art. Many universities in Australia and Japan have sent their students to My Son for training and practicing purposes. Generally, the time after Lunar New Year is most crowded with students coming for researching and practicing. Depending on their majority and research topic, students stay in My Son for a week or two to three months.

In recent years, the Board of Management of My Son Sanctuary have implemented preferential policies for students, namely, discounting partly the entrance ticket, assigning staffs to support and guide students more about the history of the Holy Land. The increasing number to My Son Sanctuary is a clear evidence for its attractiveness. Therefore, the Board of Management of My Son always creates the most favorable conditions for students.

Despite existing for over one thousands years, My Son still hide many mysteries which have not been explained clearly yet. It is not only about values of architecture and art but also about spiritual culture that ancient Vietnamese had hidden in bricks of temples. That is the reason why My Son is always appealing to students everywhere.
